For the price of the room ($185 per night), firstly the TV remote had to be replaced because there was no sound, secondly one light over the bed did not work, the heater didn't work, the paper that was pre-arranged to be delivered wasn't!! and we were not told prior to checkout that parking at the establishment was an extra...

We stayed 2 nights, and found the hotel so close to everything. Unfortunately the receptionist couldn’t check us when we arrived, and when we come back we discovered the delay meant we didn’t get a room with a bath (only a shower), other rooms with a bath were offered, but they rooms weren’t as large or had flat screen TV's....

Dear debandmartin, Thank you very much for your feedback. Apologies that you couldn't be checked in when you arrived - checkin time is 2.00pm so I am not sure/unable to ascertain from this feedback if you arrived before 2.00pm or not. Apologies also that you did not get a room with a bath - we have a mixture of rooms... More

Just checked in today, 21st April. Room basic but clean and a little dated, wanted a quiet room so we are around the back with a connecting door to the next room which we weren't told about. On the 4th floor so not the best view. Believe the hotel is a converted office block which is obvious from the windows.... More
